So I'm watching tv and a Macy's commercial comes on and I notice there are two females and a guy dancing or walking around in different clothes, swimsuits, or underwear.
And then I notice that the guy is asian, one of the girls is black, And the other one looks Hispanic? What's the deal?
Do these idiots know that America is still 65 or 70% white?
The bureau reported that minorities—defined as anyone who is not a single-race non-Hispanic white—made up 50.4% of the nation’s population younger than age 1 on July 1, 2011.there ya go marketers know what they doing
But white people are too busy working and paying taxes to have time or money to shop. I noticed this one day when we went to the mall. There were black people, Hispanics and senior citizens shopping and not much else.

Now go click through the TV channels and see how that mixture is. Unless it is a reality show or sports my guess is you won't see many white people. They enjoy telling us we are in the minority now. I don't think we are but that is the victory cry. And I am definitely seeing they will not be as nice to us as minorities as we have been to them.
Now, I know you're going to have your 'Playing the race card" defense ready, and I'm prepared for that...but I just have to ask how its possible that you don't realize how incredibly racist your initial statement is? Or maybe you know how racist it is and you just don't care?
PS: Claiming that someone is "Playing the race card" doesn't excuse you for being a racist.
I guess that by now we are supposed to not notice color anymore. Or else, we are all supposed to realize that it is WRONG to be white, or heterosexual, or legal citizens. Shame on you, if you are.
This trend is nothing new. I first noticed it about 40 years ago. My first child loved to watch Sesame Street, a charming show. By 5 years later when child number two started watching it, the only kids on it were urban and black, or other ethnic. It was as though it was wrong to be a white suburban kid. Just saying.

Most Hispanics have majority European DNA and many self identify as both Hispanic and White. Many of the other "non White" children have 1 White parent.

So what were you doing at the mall then? Not working, that's what.

Hahaha, too funny!! I have a suggestion: go & watch episodes from season 1 & 2, then get back to me.

We are in American, for all that makes up what it is, the good, the bad and the indifferent, it is for general practical function for the human being a good nation, considering the options and choice we'd be confronted with.
I actually agree with basically everything you said in your post.
I believe that America is the best of the countries in the world. But if you look at the alternatives, that isn't exactly saying much.
Where I disagree with America, and most Americans for that matter, is on what makes a life worth living. Most Americans think money and stuff is the root of happiness, I feel exactly the opposite.
And the reason they feel that way, is because their government and their corporations, and even their churches, tell them that.
The government needs economic growth, corporations need consumers, and churches need tithes. It creates a conflict-of-interest between "what is good" and "what is beneficial".
Money does not buy happiness, and it most certainly is the root of all evil.
Americans continue to get less happy, they hate their government, they don't trust each other, substance-abuse, crime, sexual-abuse, immorality, lack of respect, and the list goes on-and-on.
But no one really wants to do anything about it, because nothing can be done. This is our system, and its only going to get worse.
As long as money continues to be the measure of value in this world, the world will continue to go to hell.

Well, it might be part of a communist conspiracy to convert us all to Muslims, turn us gay, and destroy the white race and turn the US into the United State of the European Union of Arab socialists.
Or it was marketing to a group you weren't in, or there just weren't any white actors they had at that moment. Who knows. But I'm glad the real issues are being discussed.
